The popular Fox TV dance competition, now in its 16th season, is hosted by Cat Deeley and features hundreds of dancers from around the country (and world) vying for 10\u00a0spots on the show. Coming from many different dance backgrounds and genres, the contestants perform solo, paired, and group dances for the four judges in a variety of dance styles, including ones with which that they have little or no experience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23676\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23676\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23676\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sytycd-host-and-judges-1.jpg\" alt=\"(l-r: Mary Murphy, Dominic Sandoval, Cat Deeley, Laurieann Gibson, and Nigel Lythgoe)\" width=\"700\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cinephiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sytycd-host-and-judges-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cinephiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sytycd-host-and-judges-1-512x297.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.cinephiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sytycd-host-and-judges-1-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23676\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(l-r: Mary Murphy, Dominic Sandoval, Cat Deeley, Laurieann Gibson, and Nigel Lythgoe)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The four judges this year include the show\u2019s co-creator Nigel Lythgoe and choreographer Mary Murphy, an enthusiastic fixture of the series, along with newcomers Laurieann Gibson who has choreographed dance numbers for Lady Gaga, Beyonc\u00e9, and Alicia Keys, and B-boy dancer\/choreographer Dominic \u201cD-Trix\u201d Sandoval, who was a contestant on the third season of the show.\u00a0To be honest, what I know about the world of dance could fit on an index card, and yet this show has not only made me appreciate many dance forms I didn\u2019t even know existed, it has moved me to tears on many occasions. Being in the studio during a taping only upped the ante on my floodgates, I\u2019m surprised I got through the night in one piece. If you watch the whole show, you can see me in the crowd applauding so furiously that I think I damaged the nerves in my hand!<\/p>\n<p>The show opened with a very powerful group number that featured all 10 of the incredibly talented young dancers. The modern dance piece, choreographed by Emmy-winning choreographer Travis Wall, took on America\u2019s epidemic of gun violence in a way that only dance could do. The 10 dancers shot this number right before the live show began and because of some technical problems, they had to do the entire taxing routine three times in a row. It was so moving that I cried all three times. Take a look:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ewaIdf5e5pc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><center><\/center><\/center>At such a divisive time in this country filled with so much bullying and needless cruelty, this show consistently gives me hope for a better tomorrow. Seeing these impossibly talented young people perform difficult dance numbers that they learn in a very short period of time with such skill and grace moves me on so many levels. Even though it\u2019s a competition that\u2019s now at the point in the season where two dancers will be eliminated each week, the camaraderie that was clearly evident among all of the dancers in the studio and backstage is very moving\u00a0and says so much about the positive role of the arts in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the opening group number, once the live show begins, there\u2019s no going back for the couples (the dancers are paired but judged individually), they only get one chance to perform their routine, mistakes and all. Sometimes the most interesting part is to see how the dancers\u00a0recover from a mistake \u2014 this can even gain them points with the judges. After each of the live shows, \u201cAmerica\u201d can vote for the different dancers (online or through the Fox Now app) which puts the four dancers with the lowest scores \u201cin danger\u201d the following week. At that point, the judges can \u201csave\u201d the two of the bottom four who they think are the most worthy based on their performances that week, and the other two are eliminated. This is the part I can\u2019t bear because they\u2019re all so freaking talented. Last night was the first time that two dancers from the Top 10 were eliminated and I can\u2019t say I agreed with \u201cAmerica\u2019s\u201d choice. Not the first time that I&#8217;ve felt THAT emotion!<\/p>\n<p>After the show ended, I went backstage and waited for the physically and emotionally spent dancers to appear. It\u2019s an unusually young crowd of dancers this year, ranging in age from 18 to 21. First out were Madison Jordan, a 21-year-old contemporary dancer from Minnesota, and Ezra Sosa, an 18-year-old Latin ballroom dancer from Utah whose sister is also among the Top 10. Their dance routine last night, choreographed by Ray Leeper, was excellent as always.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R2tT-frLrZ0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><strong>Danny Miller: Madison, I have yet to see you perform where I didn\u2019t burst into tears, you are mesmerizing on that stage. I can\u2019t even imagine how you handle all that pressure each week and perform so flawlessly. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Madison Jordan: <\/strong>Oh, thank you so much! There are definitely a lot of nerves, especially backstage, but as soon as we\u2019re about to go on, we shake it off. We have to, because those kind of nerves will definitely show on stage which is\u00a0not going to work in a live performance.<\/p>\n<p>Much is made on the show of the diminutive size of Mariah Russell, a 19-year-old contemporary dancer from Nashville, and Bailey Munoz, an 18-year-old B-boy from Las Vegas, but there is nothing small about their insane dancing abilities. I thought that couple gave one of the strongest performances in last week\u2019s show and they were equally skilled\u00a0this week in their number choreographed by Luther Brown. Bailey\u2019s Filipino family, sitting directly behind me, was going nuts and holding up single cards that spelled out BAILEY.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L865qozEiDE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><strong>Mariah, how different is it dancing to this large an audience? Do you find that to be a little overwhelming?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mariah Russell:\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s incredible, but I\u2019ve been doing dance competitions pretty much my whole life. This is obviously the biggest competition I\u2019ve ever been in but I feel like I have a lot to bring and this level of dance is something I\u2019ve always wanted to do. I\u2019m definitely just putting in all of the work that I can to make sure that I have the best time of my life out there because I don\u2019t know when I\u2019ll have an experience like this\u00a0again!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you guys \u00a0follow all the social media that\u2019s out there about you and the show?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bailey Munoz:\u00a0<\/strong>Social media can be tough, it can be pretty toxic, but we just have to remain positive. I\u2019m trying to stay away from it right now because I don\u2019t want it to affect how I\u2019m dancing, but I also know that social media can be a great tool for dancers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do the dancers deal with the situation when one of you is \u201cin danger\u201d and the other one isn\u2019t? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mariah Russell:\u00a0<\/strong>Ugh, that\u2019s definitely the toughest part of all. But you just have to keep that connection going between you and just think of that. We\u2019re all just hoping to go as far in the competition as we can.<\/p>\n<p>Next up were Anna Linstruth, a 19-year-old hip hop dancer from Las Vegas, and Benjamin Castro, an 18-year-old dancer from Miami. For me, Benjamin is the top male dancer of the season, I can\u2019t even believe what he\u2019s been able to do in some of his dances. Last night the pair performed a routine choreographed by Randi &amp; Hef.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zFyaWXJTPmk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><strong>You were both so great in that amazing Travis Wall group number. What was it like having to do it so many times? I was worried for you all having to repeat it again and again!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Benjamin Castro:\u00a0<\/strong>I mean, for me, I was a little worried, too, because I was really able to tap into the heavy emotional part of it the first few times and then you start to worry\u00a0that you\u2019re losing the meaning a little bit. But in the end, when you get on that stage you just remember the\u00a0message you\u2019re trying to send and you get it together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much time do you even get to rehearse something that intense?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna Linstruth:\u00a0<\/strong>We probably had like a day, a day in a half. (Laughs.) Yeah, we put that together real quick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whoa, how the hell do you do that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Benjamin Castro:\u00a0<\/strong>You just put your trust in the choreographer and in the people around you. Travis Wall is a genius, man. And he never had to say anything twice, he\u2019s so smart and he knows how to work with people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna, you were \u201cin danger\u201d this week until the end, that\u2019s got to be an uncomfortable place to be. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna Linstruth:\u00a0<\/strong>Yeah, it was incredibly nerve-wracking. I want to make sure I never get there again, that was tough!<\/p>\n<p>During the show, I was sitting behind the family of Sophie Pittman, an 18-year-old contemporary dancer from Tennessee, and it was moving to watch them watch Sophie\u2019s performance with Eddie Hoyt, a 19-year-old tap dancer from New Hampshire. Their dance was choreographed by Travis Wall.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dV28lfqBJI0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>I was also entranced by the performance of Gino Cosculluela, an 18-year-old contemporary dancer from Miami, and Stephanie Sosa, a 19-year-old Latin ballroom dancer from Utah (and Ezra Sosa\u2019s sister), choreographed by Emma &amp; Sasha.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9FqWkue44X4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><strong>You\u2019ve been dancing for many years, obviously, but the stakes\u00a0have to be a thousand times higher in this setting, no? Or do you just put your brain in a different place?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gino Cosculluela:<\/strong> I think it\u2019s a bit of both. The nerves are definitely higher because the expectations are so much higher, but we\u2019re both strong dancers who have trained all of our lives so I think we know how to deal with that added pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophie Pittman:<\/strong>\u00a0But it is crazy to think that it&#8217;s not just the judges and our parents watching now, it\u2019s all of America watching, that can be a little overwhelming to think about. This whole experience is a little surreal. But I love dancing so much. When we had to do that opening number three times, I was just thinking how much I love getting this message out to people. If we have to do it three or more times, I will keep doing it because I think it was a really important message.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this week\u2019s two eliminated dancers came out. I thought Stephanie Sosa gave a killer performance on the show and\u00a0gasped when her name was announced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephanie, this is the one part of the show that I can&#8217;t stand! You were so great, I hate\u00a0to see you go. Did you get to go backstage afterwards and lose it a little bit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephanie Sosa:<\/strong> Oh, thank you so much, it\u2019s hard. I did lose it a little bit but I just have to remember this is just part of a bigger picture. I got to dance on national television which was amazing. And I get to go on tour with the cast this fall. I\u2019m just so proud of my brother, I want him to go all the way!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23675\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/danny-eddie1.jpeg\" alt=\"danny-eddie1\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cinephiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/danny-eddie1.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.cinephiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/danny-eddie1-512x384.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.cinephiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/danny-eddie1-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Eddie Hoyt was such a favorite in my house that I had to take a picture with him to show my family members. He was on the show last year, too, where he very movingly (and somewhat accidentally) came out on national television. My favorite part of this season was his emotional final audition, light years away from his performances on last year\u2019s show. \u201cThis was quite a different experience this year,\u201d judge Mary Murphy told him through tears following his audition. \u201cLast year we fell in love with you because you were this cute little pumpkin up there tapping his heart out, and this year, you came back and put so much into it and so much emotion. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever cried over a tap routine before!\u201d Nigel Lythgoe concurred. \u201cIt was remarkable and such great choices.\u201d The other two judges agreed. Dominic Sandoval said Hoyt\u2019s number was the greatest tap routine he\u2019d ever seen in his life, and Lauriann Gibson added, \u201cI have one thing to say: Greatness needs no explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eddie, I was flabbergasted when you were eliminated, you so killed it in tonight\u2019s routine. How do you cope with that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eddie Hoyt:<\/strong> It\u2019s really\u00a0hard when you reach your dream and then have to leave, especially when I feel\u00a0so incredibly connected to my partner and to the rest of the dancers in the Top 10. But this whole experience has been so incredible I can\u2019t help but see it in a positive light. I\u2019m just so honored to be here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got some projects in the works and I would love to do more musical theater and my own choreography.
